Be careful not to blame yourself if someone rejects Christ. If you do, you might be tempted to take credit when someone accepts him.

God will often give you more than you can handle so you can learn to depend on Him rather than on yourself.

If you delegate authority, you will build leaders.

To be great at a few things and experience it, you'll have to say no to many things.

We don't have eternal life because we're good, we have it because God is good.

When we generally make healthy choices about food (or wise choices about life), we tend to move in the right direction, living as we believe God wants us to live. If we make an intentional exception for a special treat or for a diversion, that might not be a big deal. But if we step off the best path, we're tempted to detour into more unwise choices. In that case, your decision does matter.

The things that make us sad, the things that make us righteously angry, or the things we care about that others don’t are often a key that unlocks our reason for living. It’s our burden.
